What It's Like Being a Vampire

"What's it like becoming a vampire?" When Xiang Kun first sees this question on Quora, he treats the answers as nothing more than fantasy stories. Back then, he naturally never expected that it didn't take long before he had the qualifications to truly answer this question. After he recently losing his job, Xiang Kun experiences a series of inexplicable physical and mental changes—unable to eat or drink anything other than plain water, craving for blood, shedding a layer of his skin like a snake, staying awake for days before falling fast asleep for 30 hours, feeling uncomfortable staying in the sun... He has definitely transformed into a different person, or, is he even still a human? Driven by his determination to seek the truth, Xiang Kun embarks on a dangerous yet exciting journey to understand his identity and powers. Nevertheless, to his surprise, he seems to be the first person ever who has undergone those transformations... Is it his destiny? Why is he the chosen one? At the start, Xiang Kun doesn’t have the answers. But he refuses to give up searching. During his self-exploration, Xiang Kun is taken by surprise by the positive effects of the changes to his body. Realizing that he can train certain parts of his body to carry out extraordinary functions, he continuously pushes his limits from building his muscle mass to enhancing his sense of smell and hearing. These “special powers” enable him to solve crimes and assist others in need. Until one day, he discovers something that gives him a lead to the cause of the changes in his body... Can Xiang Kun uncover the truth and figure out what exactly happened to him? Will he trust anyone with his secret, or face all the challenges alone? Many mysteries and uncertainties await him.

Chapter 354: Ability Upgrade

Can a person fall asleep while standing? Of course, it's possible. Xiang Kun had such experience before his mutation, falling asleep standing up on the subway, only to be jolted awake when it was his stop.

However, generally, if you're sleeping standing up, you need something to lean on, or to be holding onto a handrail like on a bus or subway, otherwise it's easy to lose your balance when you doze off.

But Old Xia wasn't leaning against a wall or holding onto a handrail, yet she still managed to sustain her balance while asleep. This was quite amazing.

Could it be because she was holding that woodcarving, helping her to maintain her balance and center of gravity?

Xiang Kun put on a shirt and then squatted down in front of Old Xia, gazing at her with amusement. He tried to take the Eight-Armed, Eight-Eyed Wood Carving from Old Xia's hand, but the moment he touched the woodcarving, Old Xia's eyes shot open, and she lifted the woodcarving up.
